ing b, g, N an investigation into the affairs OF
the Sioux City and Pac.lc railway, which wa
subsidized TO the extent OF 81, 100000. This
road was absorbed by the Chtcsgo and North
western railway some years ago. 1t IL desired
10 ascertain II this road ls in condition to liq'
uiiate its Indebtedness to the United States.
1t is shown that the road has paid current ex-
2enses and earned a Surplus Of $4,000 over
ard above the amount due the government
for interest, hut no payment has been made to
the government. President Hughitt and
Comptroller K,rkhsm did not make It clear to
the commission just what disposition had
been IN ade OF the money. Hughitt said tina
the road would probably not be able to pay
the debt; that 1t had been crippled By compe-
tltion; the alleged deficit used for the neces'
sary nprovements, aud that 1t was impossible
for him TO state the probable action or the

Av OPPRESSIVE LAW.

Az OPPRESSIVE LAW.
When the repeal of the decd OF
trust law was first agitated in the
Lincoln County Convention. we
thought some rash legislation was
demanded U.s. the people. We were
impressed with the opinion, that
such legislation might be abused
bv the dishonest, but having care
fully examined the subject we are
convinced that such is not the pur-
pose. but that Just and valuable
reform g, demanded.
There are many evils resulting
from the system which obtains in
Mississippi ofselling lands under
deeds of trust by trustees, without
the Intervention Of any court to
pronounce and adiudge the claim
which the sale is made to satisfy
Just ard legal, and great many
wrongs and acts Of injustice are
imposed on the weak debtors by
merciless and grasping debtors,
under the pretcnse OF collecting
legitimate debts by such sales.
We are surprised that the Gran
gers and the Farmers Alliance
have so long kept silence on this
subject which ought TO interest
them so much since such a large
number Of their members have
suffered end are daily suffering the
in consequent upon the practice.
We are informed that deeds OF
trust to secure debts, such as are
commonly taken in Mississippi are
unknown in most of the States, and
it is surprising that they should
have been allowed to be gwen aud
executed for such considerable
time in this State.
Under this pernicious system the
creditor has bis debtor absolutely
at his mercy, and once having hin
can hold him forever. It encour
ages a disregard for the usury laws
of the State as being an effcctiv,
means Of evading them. It unset
ties the titles to the real estate Of
the State. 1t encourages the max
ing Of exorbitant charges by un
scrupul0us merchants aud other
advancing under such security
and also encourages dishonesty il
such persons, since they are prae
tically beyond the reach and super
vision Of the courts in a large ma
iority of cases, and it enables th'
creditor to get his debtors proper
ty whenever he chooses at suel
prices as be is willing to allow 70
it.
We will have more to say Of
this subject when we will ente
more into details and show hov
those things are done.
Out ofthe prosperity ofthe farm
ers and planters, especially in al
agricultural district in Mississippi
is grown the prosperity OF the bod,
polite, and hence the protection
Of the interests OF this class is 0
the first Importance in our State
and we know no act which the Leg
islature could pass witch wouli
60 so tar TO benefit and protee
them as law which prohibits tn
selling Of lands under a deed o
trust by trustees.
They should only be sold for th
enforcement Of deeds Of trust o
mortgages under decree or jude
ment Of court which has adjude
ed the debt valid and Just for whic
The sale is to be made.-Yick
